Because they are. I have handled many Remlins at stores, looking for something budget minded in a similar caliber. None compared to my Marlin made in the 80s. Fit, finish, and quality were nowhere near the same. Even during the last 3 years Remington was in business, their Marlins were shod quality.

Holster selection is far more important than firearm selection when it comes to appendix carry. I used to carry appendix in a soft leather holster, a striker-fired pistol. Then I read about holsters getting old and soft allowing a divet to form around the trigger and bang. So I started using a...

I was once under a felony indictment. I was not allowed to buy any new firearms during that time, but the ones I had were not in danger of confiscation. The most inconvenient portion was my concealed carry permit at the time was suspended. So I could not carry a firearm for awhile. To this day I...

A custom built set from parts and pieces is better than anything pre-built you can buy. Because you know what you have and what you need. A fishing tackle with organization trays is a great idea, start, and something to maintain. If you want to compact a gun cleaning set, finding a gun cleaning...

As mentioned my biggest is 30-06. I have "fired" (more like a firing sequence) the Gau-8 Avenger 30mm outside of an A-10. That was phenomenal. But I don't ever need something that big or close to it. I would like to have a 30-30 or 308 and be done for all my hunting needs. If ever get back into...

How? I have yet to see a Ruger-made Marlin on the shelf. They are not producing the Marlin level quality and quantity that they were known for. Back when I bought my first Marlin, it was 300 bucks compared to the 1000 Henry. Now, Henrys are the cheaper rifle by comparison to the new Marlins. I...

I have a heavily modified Maverick 88 with a 20" barrel and 7+1 capacity with 2 3/4" shells. Recently I have added a Defender Tactical minishell adapter in replacement of the Opsol adapter. Haven't put it through the reliability ringer yet, but it works great with dry runs. Been utterly reliable...

Midway used to have a lot of rifled shotgun barrels. But they have been out of stock for a very long time.

Very different numbers on a shell box. I like #4 buck for home defense. Or the mix shot of #4 and #1 buck in the Aguila mini shells, I haven't tried the Federal ones yet. First boxes of #4 I ever got was during the pandemic and 00 buck was gone. Found I like it just as good as 00 buck when I...

I consider myelf quite recoil sensitive. Largest I have is a 30-06. And that is a little too much for hunting in southeast thickets and swamps. So far my longest shot has been just shy of 200 yards. And most of that was a clearing around a pond.

There are some ultra light very low recoil builds you could put together in an AR like a short barrel 300 Blackout. But if you are particularly budget conscious, I would find a Ruger or Savage budget bolt gun in 243. That is probably the lightest weight cheapest package you are going to get...

For deep concealment, I don't carry a reload. I will just have to live with having the 7+1 I have on hand. For my other carry, I am not as determined as I once was to carry a spare. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. Full service size firearm with 15+1, light and optic. The spare is 17 round...

I liked my service issue M9. It was accurate enough. Didn't fit my hand great but when you have to have a one size fits all pistol for everyone, choice doesn't matter. I still have my holsters and magazines that I bought separately for it and would like to have one in my safe. Even just for...

The 2A (like the free states) hasn't existed in NY in decades. Mostly due to NYC. Big part of the reason I left and will never move back there. Colin is slow to the realization.

I picked my first hunting rifle because it was a cartridge that has been around for over a hundred years. 35 Remington. And now, it is impossible to find ammo or components for. It makes me leery of investing in a new cartridge like 6.5 Creedmore, because no one knows how long anything is going...

Whatever I take off my belt that day. I don't see the need for a dedicated night stand gun.

Only firearm I have bought twice was a NAA mini revolver in .22Mag. For the now ex-missus. The first one got sold to help pay bills when money was tight. The second one got sold because we are now divorced. If I buy it a third time, it will be a Sidewinder model.

Technology is too easily abused at the moment. So it is a pass from me. If a firearm is not on me it is in a locked container of some sort. Either bedside or in a safe. If I start losing them between those three places, I would rather give up firearms altogether than need a tether app to them.

I will be shopping for a new recoil pad for my bubba'd M1917 Einfield. The one that was put on when sporterized has hardened and feels more like the old metal butt plates. I am leaning toward a bolt on, grind to fit option. The slip on Limbsaver I put on my Mav88 looks cheap and sloppy.

My favorite brand of holsters is unfortunately out of business. They made kydex/leather hybrid holsters. Large piece of leather with a kydex shell on the front for whatever firearm it is. Made changing firearms very easy. And with the same piece of leather, very little break in period with a new...
